Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

Great question and I wish I had answered that in my thread (I have not slept and have small children)
I will try to explain:
In my experience in the "before times" (before Trump broke everyone's brains and TDS spread throughout the land), generally everyone in DC got along just fine and were friends and dated no matter what party affiliation (no, really) and nobody called each other "nazis" - so when he told me "this is my totenkopf" and poked his tattoo, he explained that he got it because he and his group of Marines were "killers" just like the guys who used that logo so it wasn't really a *nazi* thing it was just a *special unit* thing that he claimed preceded WWII (NO idea if that's true).
I grew up in a heavily military family and was socializing in a very heavily post-9/11 vets community at the time and they all had different kinds of logos and emblems and maybe this will fall flat, but I accepted that reasoning and only after we'd broken up when I saw him continue to tell people different versions of the story (like, while he was shirtless at the bar—which he was often) that I realized he was trying to distance himself from the fact that he got it deliberately. I heard him once tell someone "it's a nazi tattoo but I didn't know what it was when I got it" and I looked at him like "ummm bro why are you lyinggg?" and he looked back at me with a terrifying, hateful face.
Because when you pierce the delusion/lies of a narcissist they will try to destroy you.
And that is what he's been doing behind the scenes for months... but lol it won't work because I don't work in DC anymore I'm a SAHM in the suburbs and my kids can't fire me because I make the pancakes (and they kinda like me). 🥰
He could be lying. My point was that I need more than a Heritage stooge for me to believe something. He’s not my preferred candidate. I probably would’ve preferred Mills even though she’s 3000 years old. But that’s not really the question anymore. The primary is effectively over. The choice is between the known evil of Collins or the ambivalent choice of Platner. If I were in Maine, I’d roll the dice.
Q: The president's financial disclosures show a lot of stock trades in companies he has promoted, sometimes even putting the stock ticker symbol in his posts and encouraging people to buy their stock--
JD VANCE: This is a hell of a question
Q: How can you argue you are cleaning up corruption when the president is doing this?
VANCE: C'mon man. Have a little bit of objectivity in how you ask these questions
Asked about the Iran War's effect on gas prices, Thomas Massie challenger, Ed Gallrein, replied: "The president is playing five-dimensional chess."
"He is resetting the entire global power structure. So let him work through that to reset that, to set the conditions...just like President Reagan did. Exactly like President Reagan did."
President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”
Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him. I'd probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That's our president'
MAGA was never about America. It was about one man's ego - and everyone who crosses him learns the hard way
Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years.
“I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”
Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion.
His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history.

Counterpoint: Here’s Trump threatening violence, calling for his political enemies’ executions, celebrating the deaths of people he didn’t like, and otherwise casually promoting political violence. Also there was the small matter of Jan 6 and subsequent pardons for violent felons
